Spring is the time of plans and projects.  ~ Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina 

CTO ... This side UP?!?

Oh, my goodness! We've all been playing from the wrong side!

Check This Out ... Queen Marie Antoinette "playing" the hammered dulcimer  ... a very complex music box.

St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic.  ~ Adrienne Cook

CTO … Many Mallets

No hammered dulcimers here, but plenty of other percussionists!

Check This Out … Led Zeppelin on xylophone and marimba. You see any future hammered dulcimer players in this bunch? These youngsters are having FUN!

Whoever has skill in music is of good temperament and fitted for all things. We must teach music in our schools. ~ Martin Luther

CTO … Face the Music

Piggy-backing on my post of February 11, The Face of a Hammered Dulcimer Player , here's your laugh for the day.

Check This Out … Hammered Dulcimer players are not the only musicians who make funny faces while in the midst of playing. TheCrispyDuck had some creative photo-shopping fun, declaring that guitar solo faces make a lot more sense when the guitar is replaced with a giant slug. Some of the comments are a bit crude, but the pictures are hilarious!

One thing's for sure, a hammered dulcimer player would never close eyes while playing! Guitar Solo Faces

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~ Anne Bradstreet
